If it took 50k miles to finally tear into leaking front seals, a Harley may not be for you. I hear those Honda grooms are pretty neat...

also FYI, i bought the bike about 40 miles ago as a project, but has over 100k on it. Strong running fxr for 3k, couldn't pass it down. Poor maintenance or not.

Hard to believe someone would neglect a bike like that.

FYI, Sportster forks are exactly the same (depending on year of course).
